Current report
Healthcare reform efforts have been and may continue to be subject to scrutiny and legal challenge. For example, with respect to the ACA, tax reform legislation was enacted that eliminated the tax penalty established for individuals who do not maintain mandated health insurance coverage beginning in 2019 and, in 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the latest judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA. As another example, revisions to regulations under the federal anti-kickback statute would remove protection for traditional Medicare Part D discounts offered by pharmaceutical manufacturers to pharmacy benefit managers and health plans. Pursuant to court order, the removal was delayed and recent legislation imposed a moratorium on implementation of the rule until January
Current report
As another example, the IRA drug price negotiation program has been challenged in litigation filed by various pharmaceutical manufacturers and industry groups.
Current report
Our failure to meet the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, ("Nasdaq"), could result in the delisting of our common stock. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock and the market price of our common stock could decrease, and our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired.
Current report
As we had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, we filed an application to transfer the listing of our Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. On August 26, 2025, we received approval from the Staff of Nasdaq to transfer the listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, (the “Approval”). Our common stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective as of the opening of business on August 29, 2025 and has continued to trade under the symbol “RLYB.” The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements. As a result of the Approval, we were granted an additional 180-day grace period, or until February 23, 2026, (the “Second Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
Current report
There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the Bid Price Requirement, or any other Nasdaq continued listing requirements, in the future. If we fail to meet any of these requirements, including the Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq may again notify us that we have failed to meet the minimum listing requirements and initiate the delisting process. If our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board, but there can be no assurance that our common stock will be eligible for trading on such alternative exchange or market. Additionally, if our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected, the market price of our common stock could decrease, our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired and transactions in our common stock could lose federal preemption of state securities laws. Furthermore, there could also be a further reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media and broker-dealers may be deterred from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Moreover, delisting may also negatively affect our collaborators’, vendors’, suppliers’ and employees’ confidence in us and employee morale.

Previous report
Our common stock may be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Select Market, which could harm the trading price of our common stock, the liquidity of our common stock, and our ability to raise additional capital.
Previous report
To maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, we are required to meet certain listing requirements. On February 24, 2025, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing us that the closing bid price of our common stock was below the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share during the prior 30 consecutive business days (the “Notice”), as required for continued listing under Rule 5450(a)(1) of the Nasdaq’s Listing Rules.
Previous report
In the event we do not evidence compliance with the minimum bid price requirement before the Compliance Date, we may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance if we apply to transfer the listing of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. In the event we fail to regain compliance or transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market before the Compliance Date, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist our common stock to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the Compliance Date, that an additional 180-day period to regain compliance will be granted, or that an appeal would be successful.
Previous report
If our common stock is delisted and is not eligible for quotation or listing on another market or exchange, trading of our common stock could be more difficult, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline, adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock, and make it more difficult for us to raise capital.

Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history. As a result, we are not profitable and we have incurred significant operating losses since inception, including net losses of $9.7 million and $19.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $16.2 million and $35.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $312.2 million. Investment in biopharmaceutical product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to raising capital, conducting discovery and research activities, acquiring product candidates, establishing and protecting our intellectual property, preparing for and conducting clinical trials, and establishing arrangements with third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates. We do not have any product candidates approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales.

As a result, we are not profitable and we have incurred significant operating losses since inception, including net losses of $11.5 million and $46.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. In connection with the JV Sale, we received a total of $20.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 which resulted in net income of $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a net loss of $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Previous wording
Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the middle of 2027. This estimate and our expectation to advance the preclinical and clinical development of RLYB116 and any other product candidates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, or we may be subject to changing circumstances. We could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and we may be unable to accurately estimate the actual amount of funds we will require for development and commercialization of our product candidates. Our future capital requirements, both near and long-term, will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

Previous wording
Our lead program, RLYB116, is in early-stage clinical development and we do not currently have any products that generate revenues or any other sources of revenue. To date, we have invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in the development of RLYB212 and RLYB116. Our future success is substantially dependent on our ability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development for, obtain marketing approval for, and successfully commercialize, our product candidates, which may never occur. None of our product candidates are approved for commercial sale and we may never be able to develop a marketable product.

Previous wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had 20 full-time employees, upon whom we rely for various administrative, research and development, business development and other support services shared among our subsidiaries. The size of our centralized team may limit our ability to devote adequate personnel, time, and resources to support the operations of all of our subsidiaries, including their research and development activities, the management of financial, accounting, and reporting matters, and the oversight of our third-party vendors and partners. If our centralized team or our third-party vendors and partners performing such functions fail to provide adequate administrative, research and development, or other services across our entire organization, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

Previous wording
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and foreign patent offices have a number of procedural and documentary requirements that must be complied with during the patent application and prosecution process. Periodic fees must be paid to the USPTO and foreign patent offices at several stages or annually over the lifetime of issued patents and pending patent applications. In certain circumstances, we might rely on our licensing partners to meet procedural, documentary, and fee requirements of the relevant patent agency. With respect to our patents, we rely outside counsel to remind us of the due dates and to make payment after we instruct them to do so. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If we or our licensors fail to maintain current and future patents and patent applications covering our product candidates, our competitors might be able to enter the market with similar or identical products or technology, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

We have 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until August 25, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to cure the deficiency and regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before the Compliance Date.
Current wording
On February 24, 2025, we received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”), from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff of Nasdaq”), notifying us that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, thereby failing to satisfy the minimum closing bid price requirement set forth in the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had 180 calendar days, or until August 25, 2025, (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by having shares of our common stock maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days before the Compliance Date.
Previous wording
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. As of August 1, 2025, we have 41,786,471 shares of common stock outstanding. All of these shares may be resold in the public market immediately, unless held by our affiliates who are subject to volume limitations under Rule 144. As of August 1, 2025, we also have pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,333,388 shares of common stock outstanding. We may not effect the exercise of any pre-funded warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any pre-funded warrant if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to us subject to the terms of such pre-funded warrants, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 19.99%.

Previous wording
As a public company, we have incurred, and particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. We expect that we will need to hire additional accounting, finance, and other personnel in connection with our efforts to comply with the requirements of being, a public company, and our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time towards maintaining compliance with these requirements. These requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We are currently evaluating these rules and regulations and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.
